Rapture: A Novel of the Fallen Angels | J.R. Ward

ROLL CALL!!!
Who is still here?

Just checking in after our harrowing 24 hours (I think just here in the states, but you never know! It‘s not quite midnight in Hawaii and maybe their god is on Hawaii time… dunno.) Just let everyone know that you‘re still with us.

Dilara Still here (GMT+1)! As is everyone I know 😅 2mo

julesG 😂😂😂 Still here. 2mo

CarolynM I hadn‘t heard anything about it until I saw the posts here🤣 If it happened I was left behind, which is something that used to absolutely terrify me when I was a child. My parents were appalled by people frightening their children with the bogeyman, but didn‘t seem to recognise that their beliefs were frightening too 😢 2mo

lil1inblue Still here. But I'm sure I'd be left behind, anyway. 🤣 2mo

Sace Still here! 2mo

kspenmoll Still here as well! 2mo

Prairiegirl_reading I wasn‘t going anywhere with those people anyway! 🤣 2mo

Bookwormjillk Still here! 2mo

Skygoddess1 Definitely still here 2mo

TheBookHippie I don‘t think they‘d take me 🤭 2mo

TheBookHippie @lil1inblue 🤣 2mo

Eggbeater Their idea of heaven is my idea of hell, spending eternity with them. I would decline the invitation. 2mo

julesG @TheBookHippie same!!! 2mo

TheBookHippie @Eggbeater 💯 2mo

ravenlee Still here! Last night I saw three different car accidents while doing the ballet valet, and I wondered if people were waiting for Jesus to take the wheel. 2mo

ravenlee @Eggbeater we all become Bartleby and would prefer not to 🤨 2mo

TheBookHippie @ravenlee OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 2mo

TheBookHippie @julesG the Rapture on Rosh Hashanah was a nice touch … HAPPY NEW YEAR. 2mo

AnnCrystal Finally researched what exactly this was all about this morning 🤔😂🤗. 2mo

GingerAntics @Prairiegirl_reading truer words have never been spoken!!! 🤣😂🤣 2mo

GingerAntics @Eggbeater 🎯🎯🎯 2mo

GingerAntics @ravenlee 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🧡🧡🧡 2mo

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie that was a lovely touch of irony. I feel like it just might be proof there is a god somewhere!!! 2mo

dabbe I wonder if Jesus could even clear customs to get into the USA; I know I barely could. And yep, still here! 😂 2mo

GingerAntics @dabbe I highly doubt it. A Middle Eastern man, with a beard, talking about love and kindness. He‘d get shipped to Eqyadore without a second thought. 2mo

GingerAntics @kspenmoll @Prairiegirl_reading @Bookwormjillk @Skygoddess1 @TheBookHippie @Eggbeater @julesG @ravenlee @AnnCrystal @dabbe I‘m so glad you‘re all still here!!! 2mo

Bookwormjillk @GingerAntics me too, but some days I wouldn't mind a little change of scenery to be honest 😄 2mo

ravenlee @GingerAntics I kinda wish “they” had all gone, though. Would make things a little easier for the rest of us. 2mo

dabbe @ravenlee 🧡🎯🧡 2mo

julesG @TheBookHippie Happy New Year to you too. 2mo

GingerAntics @Bookwormjillk totally agree 2mo

GingerAntics @ravenlee yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It seems like most people were. Just like, great, the world will get better. Bye! lol 2mo

Vivian Apple at the End of the World | Katie Coyle

I enjoyed this YA book about teens left behind after family members experience #TheRapture! It‘s not Christian fiction. It more centers around the mystery of this sudden disappearance. The sequel is not as good.

If I‘m remembering correctly this is the, “Bajor must stand alone,” episode, which stops Bajor from joining the Federation. As far as Sisko and prophecies, I prefer The Reckoning. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #StarTrekSummerJune

tournevis Agreed! 6y

American Theocracy: The Peril and Politics of Radical Religion, Oil, and Borrowed Money in the 21stC entury | Kevin Phillips

DS9 5.10 #TheRapture Such an American title... Sisko has visions that contradict his orders and he goes with the visions. An episode about freedom of will, where no rapture occurs at all. Beautifully acted and very moving despite the title.

Let‘s be frank: Dispensationalism and similar are US ideologies. Basically no one believes in this anywhere else. A *very nationalistic* theology with all the problems that entails.

#startreksummerjune #day3

suzisteffen 😭😭😭😭😭 Too real. 6y

tournevis @suzisteffen I know. Talk about a counter-productive ideology 6y

suzisteffen @tournevis Sigh. Foundation myths are huge. 6y

MayJasper I had never heard of Dispensationalism. I have just looked it up. Now I see what you mean @suzisteffen @tournevis. I have always been puzzled about the U.S. / Israel relationship. Now I begin to understand. 6y

tournevis @MayJasper You wouldn't have, you're in the UK, so... And they want end times to happen, badly, so sucking up to the Chosen people of G*d and such makes sense there too. It's really not a positive ideology in the end. 6y

MayJasper Oh I see. Profiting from association with the Chosen people. 6y

tournevis @MayJasper If G*d likes you, end times will be better for you. 6y

suzisteffen @tournevis I dated someone from Israel who was given a car by some dispensationalists involved in trying to recruit for “Jews for Jesus.” 6y

tournevis @suzisteffen It sounds like a bad tv plot! Why am I not surprised! 6y

suzisteffen @tournevis right? She felt kind of guilty about it (she was an atheist), but they were insistent! 6y

tournevis @suzisteffen It's such a strange world. 6y

Megabooks It is a strange world. I‘ve never understood Jews for Jesus. The book I tagged, despite being YA, definitely shows how tied up The Rapture™ is tied up with US evangelicals. @suzisteffen @tournevis 6y

tournevis @Megabooks FWIW, all of the Jews that I have know, including family membrers, have a lot to say about messianic jews, a lot, but it usually can be summarized by "they're not Jews, they're insane". 6y

The Rapture | Elliott Hall

Hard to find a picture about rapture without religious connotations, but I found this funny.

I didn't care for this episode of DS9. The visions and religious mumbo jumbo, Sisko as the Emissary with the Bajorian gods, I found it all very off-putting.

#StarTrekSummerJune #TheRapture @Megabooks

Amiable Lol! 😄 6y

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego 🤣 6y

Megabooks Lolololol!! 😂😂 I liked The Reckoning better as far as Bajoran prophecies. 6y
